OK, thanks - it works.
One more question: I have to use this variables in quotes because
sometimes it resolves to just empty string and there is problem with
parsing such logs.
Why sometimes empty variables ends in single hyphen ("-", this is what
I allways want) in access log and sometimes its just empty string
("")?
